PLANT CELL BIOLOGY

Providing up to date knowledge concerning the structure, organization and operation of the plant cell.

Objectives:

Those who attend the course (together with the practicum courses) will have the necessary expertise to engage in graduate level with problems relating to Plant Cell Biology. At the same time, will have acquired the ability to study the structure and development of plant cell using the electron microscope.

Study with electron microscope: 1. Organization of the typical plant cells. 2. The organization of the photosynthetic apparatus of higher plants. 3. The organization of the photosynthetic apparatus of lower plants. 4. The organization of the mitotic and cytokinetic device of higher plants. 5. The organization of the mitotic and cytokinetic device of lower plants.

The grade of the practicum courses count as the 30% of the final grade of the course.The grade of the practicum course derive from a separate examination test. A passable grade is required also for the practicum course.
